Right NVM... I guess you could a do a lot, turn it into a music playing computer only (hooks some sub woofer onto it) and put it into your garage/basement.

Your not only one...

Counterstrike as Deturb said...

But Media Center would seem the only other use.

Well, we can't tell you that. It involves ISOs...
If you want it legally, you're gonna need a brand new computer...

Media Center will run like **** on his PC...It not worth it...

Also like a said in the pm..

Well he use that computer to download his torrent and uses shh to control his torrent from his computer.. So that way he wont have to keep his main computer on 24 hours....Just to download torrent....

If you care to spend a little and upgrade the gfx card to something with a s video output and but a wifi Pci card you can use as a apple tv in a way...

I use a ATI rage 128 pro gfx card with 32mb..Sure it doesnt run aero or any real games...But yet I have not yet seen a OS that it does not support..Nor have I installed any drives to get it to work...We all dont run games on our pc...Heck most people own a wii/360/ps3 for that...THere no point it going crazy for a 350 buck gfx card when you dont play games nore care about eye candy on your pc.....
